The effectiveness of using ICTs as means of research : the case of EFL learners at university Djilali Liabes of Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria

Abstract EN

In the last few decades, technology has rapidly developed and began to take place in English language learning and teaching.

Because it has given rise to more innovative teaching methods, teachers opt for its incorporation to achieve a successful teaching.

Furthermore, our learners, who have grown in the recent digital era, connect with other learners or teachers engaging themselves in a situation that enhances their motivation.

This paper deals with the use of Information and Communication Technologies by English Foreign Language learners as an effective means to find possible solutions to their research topics.

Data was collected using a questionnaire that was randomly distributed among 50 students.

Because findings showed that ICTs help in promoting learners' research possibilities, efforts are required to launch a policy towards widespread access to ICTs in our Algerian universities.
